It has been almost two months since the online multiplayer game Heroes of Newerth went into retail. As promised by the developers, they continue to improve the game and to frequently deliver balance changes, new features, new content and more.
The next big patch is scheduled for Friday this week. By the words of S2Nome patch 1.0.5 will feature “a TON of gameplay content” and will be “the biggest since release” in terms of additional/ reworked content.
Undoubtedly one of the most thrilling additions is going to be the Gladiator – a new hero based on the famous Kunkka from DotA. As it is considered to be a direct port, the Gladiator is expected to have the exact same skillset as his DotA counterpart. You can check them on the screenshot below or at http://www.playdota.com/heroes/admiral. With the inclusion of this hero S2 Games continues their intention of satisfying both the casual and the competitive scenes in Heroes of Newerth. Will the Gladiator become as famous as Kunkka? Everybody is excited, but only time will tell.
On top of that, S2 Games announced really good news for those who do not own a paid account – everyone will be able to log in with their beta account and enjoy some more HoN goodness over the weekend for free, so make sure you have your gaming gear prepared for all the exciting new changes.
